Swimmingpool...infection?

Postby vonLuger » Tue Jul 07, 2026 5:22 pm

I had an AMS 700 LGX implant placed on April 21st of this year.
Unfortunately, a leak was detected six weeks later, and my revision surgery is scheduled for July 14th.

This timing is very inconvenient with my annual vacation. My question is: How long after the revision surgery do I need to wait before it is completely safe to use my private swimming pool without any risk of infection?

Sorry for the early leak, VonLuger and good luck with your upcoming revision. My team advised 6 weeks if the incision is 100% closed. For earlier clearance, they advised physician’s exam of the incision and approval.

The answer is very specific to the method by which the surgeon seals the incision and your risk profile. You can get a lot of good info here, but that question is for your doctor only, as they will know what is best in your particular circumstances. Do not rely on the advice of anyone here.
Born 1974. Implanted 5/21/2024. AMS 700 CX 21cm, 3cm RTE. Penoscrotal. Venous leak my whole life. Pills helped, but hated the side effects; worked less as I aged. Skipped injections. Grateful to bionic brotherhood that helped me make this decision.
